Laura Hyler’s First Three Decisions 3/25/22
Day 2 Assignment
What I learned from Doing This Assignment is:
Most significantly, are the many different approaches from which you can begin or place the world of your story. I did the exercise that Hal asks us to do: to put a character story in a multitude of worlds:
Sports, Politics, Religion, Media, Business, Military, Historical Events, Ceremony, Special Events, Road Trip and Time Travel. Wow! This is like an idea explosion! Truly amazing exercise.
1. The profound truth that my script deals with, is that interracial couples can survive/thrive despite racism.
2. The change that I would like my audience to make, is to see that people are the same.
3. The entertainment vehicle that I will tell the story through is: “The Cause is the Background.”

What I learned doing this assignment is to take my initial story idea and brainstorm different choices and scenarios to create a beginning framework. And that it is important to maintain flexibility to create a more meaningful and deeper story through the process.
1. What is your profound truth? You have a choice and can make a difference.
2. What is the change your movie will cause with an audience? Empowers the audience to believe they can influence the world.
3. What is your Entertainment Vehicle that you will tell this story through? World of Politics

David Bruno / March 26, 2022
“What I learned doing this assignment is…?”
I learned what the profound truth is of my story and what is the profound truth I want to have my audience assimilate.
The profound truth is: Our earth is not the only planet in the galaxy that has intelligent life that is concerned with homo-sapiens.
The audience will have a change in their perspective about alien life and the guilt of man.
I’ll be using the metaphor entertainment vehicle for my story.

Linda’s First Three Decisions
I learned that I’m not sure if my Entertainment Vehicle is entertaining even though war stories are often very successful.
My three decisions are:
1. What is your profound truth?
Love is greater than dogma or a belief system
2. What is the change your movie will cause with an audience?
How can we be more tolerant of people who don’t believe as we do? Of The Other?
3. What is your Entertainment Vehicle that you will tell this story through?
Story is set in a war battleground where the stakes are life and death

Lisandro Boccacci – First Three Decisions 3/26/22
What I learned doing this assignment are the simple questions one can ask one self to get to the proudness of the story, to dig a little deeper to really find the nut of the idea, and really keeping the audience in mind, keeping in mind we are building a character that the audience will hopefully chose to follow…
1. What is your profound truth? Letting go is hard but it clears the path to ones future.
2. What is the change your movie will cause with an audience? That even if people have harmed us in the past, we still have a choice on how we react and hold ourselves, and treat others. They will go form an eye for an eye, to shifting to… forgiveness…
3. What is your Entertainment Vehicle that you will tell this story through? the cause is the background, and the background happens to also be historical events.

Day 2 Assignment: The Three Decisions
3/37/22
Sherwen Moore
“What I learned doing this assignment is that it is okay to change your thoughts and it may not be your final rationale. Also, to answer these three questions make you focus on what you are trying to write about. It even narrows the scope of the idea if you go beneath that.
1. What is your profound truth?
The law needs to be just for all
2. What is the change your movie will cause with an audience?
We reconsider how we evaluate self, family and others.
3. What is your Entertainment Vehicle that you will tell this story through?
Look at changing values through a case of mistaken identity.

Brenda’s First Three Decisions
What I learned doing this assignment is the story concept I came up with a year ago had a different message than what I thought this story was going to be about and mean. I thought the profound truth in the my story was going to be something along the lines of not taking anything for granted, but it morphed into a different truth which makes so much more sense for the story about a mother and her dying child. I also learned that there is a metaphor I built into this story unwittingly.
1. What is your profound truth? Love can heal all hurts.
2. What is the change your movie will cause with an audience? After seeing the movie, the audience will call someone they love that they’ve been estranged from and tell them how much they love them. (Like a killer share, I’ve seen it happen. I shared an experience in a seminar and three people came up to them and told me they called a loved one whom they’ve been estranged from for years and told that person they love them.)
3. What is your Entertainment Vehicle that you will tell this story through? The world is a fatal illness and includes the metaphor of a treasure hunt.

Leanne Lucas’s first three decision
Day 2 Assignment
What I learned: The effort to go deeper and find the profound truth told me as much about myself as it did about the screenplay I’m writing!
Profound truth – When you make the faith you were raised with your own and give your spiritual journey to God, you are able to recognize His miraculous hand in your life.
Profound change in viewers – The ability to recognize God’s hand in events around them and in their own life.
Entertainment vehicle – Embellished true story

Patrick Malone’s First Three Decisions
I learned a clearer understanding of the story’s profound truth. Also, that it must affect and change the audience.
1. The profound Truth: each of us has unique qualities that should be appreciated by ourselves and by others.
2. Change in the Audience: they will be open to recognizing their unique qualities and those of others.
3. The Entertainment Vehicle: is the World I set it in.

Pat’s First Three Decisions
What I learned doing this assignment is these are important questions to consider as I develop my profound roadmap.
Give us your three decisions
1. What is your profound truth?
“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not”
2. What is the change your movie will cause with an audience?
I would like the audience to question their own lives and their own value systems by seeing this character overcome obstacles to achieve his dream of success while also realizing the emotional harm to his family.
3. What is your Entertainment Vehicle that you will tell this story through?
I have chosen THE EMBELLISHED AS-IT-HAPPENED CONFLICT. Because there is a historical basis for the story, and the events occurred centuries ago, I must embellish the story to fill in the gaps and make it more entertaining.

Survival and tenacity through self-awareness. That even a woman in the early 1900’s could make a life for herself and her children without a man.

What is your Entertainment Vehicle that you will tell this story through?

What I learned doing this assignment is…
If you hang in there and keep throwing the proverbial spaghetti at the proverbial wall, something’s gonna stick, then something better, and so on…
